Actual Conversation

Thing 3: Mom? Can we play beauty parlor?

Me: Sure. Get a brush

(Thing 3 brushes my hair)

Me: This is fun.

Thing3: Now I'm going to give you a pedicure. (starts rubbing my feet with lotion)

Me: (moans) Oh. That feels good! Let's play Beauty Parlor every day!

Thing 3: Mom, you need a 'real' pedicure.

Me: I do? Why?

Thing 3: Because your feet are nasty!

How do you argue with that?? I did what any of you would have done... I booked a 'real' pedicure with these guys.

What a sweet girl!

Lara said...

Sometimes it takes the honesty of kids to make ourselves get pampered. Good for you!

Kaylynn said...

I'm sure my feet are much worse--I'm almost too embarrassed to go get a pedicure. Have fun being pampered!

Jo said...

Fun game! I hate pedicures. I do not like people messing with my feet, unless it is a foot massage.

Melanie J said...

I LOVE pedicures. But I told myself I couldn't get my next one until I lost five pounds and I keep stalling out at four. So I have pretty gnarly toes right now.

DeNae said...

Never had one, but I'm pretty sure that with my addictive personality disorder, if I got one single pedicure I'd have to have three a day for the rest of my life. Like diet Coke.

Teri said...

You will love it! I went to Cultures and had a wonderful time. I'm so hooked now!!!!!

Melissa said...

You will love the pedi - make sure they give you some nail art!

Terresa said...

Honesty can be a beautiful thing, and motivating, too. I'll see ya @ the Nail salon in a few hours...

Jami said...

Mmmmm! Don't forget to kiss your sweet daughter on the way out the door.

Barbaloot said...

Ooh-ask her to come brush my hair, would ya? I LOVE that:)

Good call on the real pedicure. Wish I could join you.

Missy said...

Out of the mouth of babes!

Alicia said...

Haha, that's funny. Reminds me of the time I went to the pool for the first time.. in... uh... forever... and my son saw my *white* legs and said "Whoa Mom!"... self-tanner much! hehe

Sher said...

Don't you love when the kids just say it like it is?
I LOVE when my girls want to play pedicure and beauty parlor with me.

Shawn said...

Oh, I miss the beauty parlor days----loved those head rubs and braiding of my hair----so relaxing.

Melissa Bastow said...

I've never had a real pedicure, or a "non-real" one either. I'm seriously lacking in girliness when it comes to painting extremities. However my daughter is quite girly in every way, so I'm bound to end up in a nail salon eventually.
